	Clinton Visit Gives Pakistan's Military Strongman A Boost
		For President Bill Clinton arrives in Pakistan today to shake hands with another "strongman" and discuss America's obsession: security, Islamic "terror" and the fear that someone else – a Muslim nation, for heaven's sake – might be amassing a nuclear stockpile.
		The fact that all these problems arose from Washington's meddling in Afghanistan after the 1979 Soviet invasion is unlikely to be raised, even by the Pakistan foreign ministry officials who angrily inform visitors that "we won the Cold War for you".
		In particular his cosy friendship – trumpeted in the Pakistani press and admitted in Washington – with the US commander responsible for South Asia, General Anthony Zinni.

	Human Rights Watch blasts Musharraf
		Sharply criticising the human rights record of four years of Pervez Musharraf's rule in Pakistan, the Human Rights Watch has demanded that the military ruler must stop harassment, torture and flmail of political opponents, journalists and former government officials.
		In a letter to President Musharraf on the fourth anniversary of his seizing power in a coup, the US-based human rights watchdog agency charged him with emasculating judiciary and marginalising mainstream opposition political parties and demanded he immediately restore democracy in the country.
		The last four years have seen the rise in activity by extremist religious groups and an increase in sectarian killings, it said, adding that the military government's policy of marginalising political parties is partly to blame for it.

	Bush administration backs new power-grab by Pakistan's military strongman
		With the backing of the United States, Britain and other western powers, Pakistan’s military dictator-president, General Pervez Musharraf, has staged-managed events so he can claim that he is bowing to the “people’s wishes” when he renounces a pledge to step down as head of Pakistan’s armed forces.
		Musharraf has said that were he to give up his command of the military, it could undermine his authority in pressing forward with the “war on terrorism” and peace negotiations with India.
		However, the struggle against India has long served as the crux of the Pakistani’s bourgeoisie’s legitimizing nationalist ideology and as the military’s main justification for claiming a leading role in the country’s affairs.

		It is not only exciting to learn about his narrow escape from the threat from the military dictatorship in 1991, but also interesting to learn about this man's fight for social justice and democracy both domestically and globally.
		On 26 April 1995, the eminent Thai social critical and writer, Sulak Sivaraksa, wes declared innocent of charges of lese majeste and defaming the former military strongman, Suchinda Kraprayoon.
		The final decision by the court to hear this case was almost simultaneously followed by Sulak's nomination for the Bobel Peace Prize, inviting obnoxious but inevitable comparisons between Thailand and the military junta's suppression of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Aung San Suu Kyi in Burma (Myamar).

		The David Rieff in the NYT magazine refers to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as a "leftist populist military strongman" several times, but from my previous reading of current events, he also seems to be leading the charge against corruption and undo influence of corporate greed on national economic development plans.
		I'd like American military leaders to stop lying on Sunday morning talk shows; stop saying that the only major problem in Afghanistan is poppy production and recognize that the war lords we support are the primary problem.
		I'd like for the American military to get the hell out of Iraq too...I'm not sure if allowing national art treasures to be stolen and paying independent militias is the lasting impression I'd want to leave on a country, but that's just me...
